    The document provides instructions to identify different electronic components including a diode, LED, transistor, IC, resistor, and capacitor from a mixed collection. Key characteristics are used to differentiate each item: diodes only conduct in one direction but LEDs also emit light; transistors have three terminals while resistors conduct in both directions; capacitors show initial current that decays to zero. The procedure involves using a multimeter to check for conductivity and light emission in different biasing conditions to determine which electronic component is being examined.

    Aim

    To identify a diode, an LED, a transistor, an IC, a resistor anda capacitorfrom a mixed collection
    ofsuchitems.
    Apparatus and Material
    Apparatus: Multimeter.
    Material: Above mixed collection of items.
    Theory
    For identification, appearance and working of each item will have to be
    considered.
    1. A diode is a two terminal device. It conducts when forward biased and does
    not conduct when reverse
    biased. It does not emit light while conducting. Hence, it does not
    glow.
    2. ALED (light emitting diode) is also a two terminal device. It also conducts when forward biased and
    does not conduct when reverse biased. It emits light while
    conducting. Hence, it glow.
    3 A transistor is a three terminal device. The terminals
    represent emitter (E), base (B) and collector (C).
    4. An IC (integrated circuit) is a multi-terminal device in form of a
    chip.
    5. A resistor is a two terminal device, It conducts when either forward biased or reverse biased.
    (Infact
    there is no forward or reverse bias for a resistor). It conducts even when operated with A.C. or D.C.
    voltage.
    6. A capacitor is alsoa two terminal device. It does not conduct when either forward biased or reverse
    biased. Whena capacitor is connected to a d.c. source, then multi-meter shows some current initially
    but it decay to zero quickly. It is because that initially a capacitor draw a charge.
    The components to be identified are shown in Fig. 53.
